Abstract: Pour mesurer l'influence du bruit sur la qualité vocale d'une liaison téléphonique dans un réseau de télécommunications, un signal vocal (s(t)) de locuteur et un signal vocal (s'(t)) dégradé sont chargés dans un dispositif (22) de mesure objective afin d'obtenir un signal de sortie (q) représentant une valeur estimée de la qualité vocale. Le signal dégradé inclut un signal retourné (r(t)) provenant du réseau lors de la transmission du signal vocal de locuteur sur la liaison téléphonique. La mesure objective mise en oeuvre par le dispositif est une mesure de type PSQM modifiée, qui est modifiée de façon à inclure une modélisation (32b) d'effets de masquage résultant du bruit présent dans le signal retourné. De préférence, cette modélisation inclut une suppression (42) de bruit mise en oeuvre sur un signal différence (D(t,f)) dans le domaine de la densité de sonie à l'aide d'une estimation (41) de bruit.

Abstract: A video signal processor enhancing video information evaluates candidate vectors of enhancement algorithms utilizing an error function biased towards spatio-temporal consistency with a penalty function. The penalty function increases with the distance--both spatial and temporal--of the subject block from the block for which the candidate vector was optimal. Enhancements are therefore gradual across both space and time and the enhanced video information is intrinsically free of perceptible spatio-temporal varying artifacts.
